The Architect is a key figure in the design and renovation process of a building. Their role is very complex and multifaceted. Their work involves a deep understanding of various aspects of construction, often seemingly unrelated, yet all closely connected. For a turnkey renovation, they are an essential and irreplaceable figure.
What Does the Architect Do?
The Architect is often seen as an expert in design and style, but this view is extremely reductive. Aesthetics are only a part of their job. The Architect directs the work, follows and coordinates all construction activities. They are knowledgeable about all current building regulations. They are the figure who, more than anyone else, sees the renovation project in its entirety, from the initial ideas to the moment of certifying the completion of the work. The fact that the Architect has an overall vision of the project makes them a unique and invaluable interlocutor for the Client.
In detail, the Architect is responsible for:
- Architectural design
- Project management
- Contact and collaboration with suppliers
- Mediation between the Client and the technicians involved in the renovation
- Energy certification
- Land registry procedures
The Architect and the Client
When choosing to renovate a home or an office, it is essential to find an architect with whom to establish a relationship of understanding and trust from the outset. At Domidea, we strongly believe in this relationship: the Client must be at the center of the project, and the Architect must be a constant reference for them, from the initial inspection to the completion of the work. The Architect will therefore be tasked with:
– Listening, fully understanding the needs of the project commissioner. It is very important to maintain a constant and direct dialogue between the Architect and the Client at every stage of the renovation. A good project starts with direct dialogue with the Client, as only in this way can their needs, expectations, and desires be best interpreted.
– Selecting the best suppliers and liaising with them, ensuring the Client the best quality/price ratio for the materials and components used in the renovation.
– Ensuring access to the most suitable tax deductions for each renovation project.
